HOW TO INSTALL THE ROBOSCAN PRO 1220 IMPORTANT ! BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM ANY MAINS AC POWER To install the lamp inside the PRO 1220 you must first locate the rear end plate, at the end of the unit where the fans are located. On this end-plate you will see a black mounted lever. Press and then release the small section of the lever on the left hand side. The lever will then open.
OPERATING WITH A CONTROLLER Connect the Roboscan to the controller using the XLR/XLR or XLR/Dsub cable which came with the controller. If you are only using one Roboscan insert the terminating plug which came with the controller into the unused XLR socket on the Roboscan. If you are using other lighting units with the controller they should be connected together with XLR/XLR cables. The order is not important - use an order which gives the easiest and shortest cable routing.
NOTES ON HOW TO TURN ON THE PRO 1220 LAMP FROM YOUR CONTROLLER To save valuable lamp life for the user, the PRO 1220 has been fitted with a remotely operated relay to allow the lamp to be turned on and off from your controller without affecting the rest of the unit. This function is automatically available from any controller that can control the PRO 1220. Please note however, that, whenever the unit is turned on the lamp itself will remain off until you send a command to the unit to turn the lamp on.
LAMP ADJUSTMENT The position of the lamp-holder is correctly adjusted at the factory but to insure optimum performance fine adjustment will be necessary when the projector is installed in its permanent site.
ADJUSTING THE MIRROR Re-adjusting the mechanical stop on the Roboscan PRO 1220-mirror adaptor is required if the pan or tilt motor occasionally loses steps, leaving the mirror incorrectly positioned after a reset is performed. This error occurs when the recoil of the mechanical reset bounces the mirror and bracket a whole pan or tilt motor step. (N.B.
ADJUSTING THE PAN/TILT DAMPERS Re-adjustment of the Pan or Tilt dampers is necessary if the end-stop adjustments have caused either of the motors to slide along its axis at any time. Loosen the dampers marked (F1) and (F2), See Figure 4, until the spring-loaded plastic pin is not touching the motor. Using the controller, set the Pan/Tilt speed to minimum and turn the lamp on.
REGENERATING BAD LAMPS It can occur that, after a period of time, problems can develop with discharge lamps when they have been running with too low voltage. The low voltage causes the lamp to burn with a blue arc inside and also causes the lamp to become black on the inside. When the lamp is black on the inside the lamp will refuse to start at normal voltage.
REMOVING MODULES The Roboscan PRO 1220 has been constructed with ease of servicing and maintenance in mind and is constructed totally in a modular fashion.
